Dog Walking Beacon Square

About: I have had multiple dogs over the years from puppies to seniors. I recently lost my 18 year old hound. My experience with him gave me a lot of experience with senior dogs. Loss of mobility, dementia and seperation anxiety. Pre Covid I had a small home business walking and caring for other's pets. Caring for you pet is my only job. My goal is to have your pet feel as safe and comfortable with me as they do with you. I recently retired and have a wide open schedule. I am very flexable with few if any commitments in my private life. Early and late hours are available I will treat you pet as if they were my own. I have the utmost respect for clients home as well as their pets routine and needs

About: I've taken care of a variety of different breeds, I am very active with the dogs. I have 3 years dogs training experience.

I'm very flexible with different schedules. I try my best to accommodate dog parents and dog needs. I live on a large 2 acre farm with my husky plenty of room for running.

About: I am currently raising my second labrador retriever. Jackson is a highly energetic, friendly dog that loves his friends and loves to make new friends! Additionally, to raising my own dogs, I have sat for my friend's dogs for years both in my home and in their own home.

I have a very flexible schedule, and I do my best to accommodate all requests. My own dog is very social and friendly. I will always make sure your dog is cared for as I would care for my own. I do not charge extra for feeding, refreshing the water, or administering oral medication. My own dog has the run of the house - he either runs around in the yard or snuggles on the couch at his leisure.

About: Taken care of many different dogs in various shapes, sizes, and breeds. As a dog owner, my dog and I went through all the training to help her receive “Canine Good Citizen.” I utilize positive reinforcement and appropriate walking etiquette. Remote worker, so my evenings are weekends open to care for your sweet fur family member. During the day, I focus on my fur babies. As a dog walker, I allow the dog to sniff and take their time to navigate before moving too quickly along. Upon first meeting, I take the time for the dog to warm up. Lots of patience and love… and maybe treats if allowed.

About: I’ve had dogs in the family since a little kid. I truly love dogs and went to spend as much time as I can with them I’m currently in school only 2 days for 3 hours. So that leaves plenty of time to go on walks, play at the park, and go to the beach I have a fenced in yard and I have 2 friendly dogs myself to keep your dog company. But if your dog isn’t friendly we can keep them separate in the house

“She was great and reliable. Dog really looked forward to walks. Sue to a personal matter, she had to cancel a few walks. When trying to rebook, she was unresponsive. I hope everything is ok!”

About: My name is Sarah and I have been walking and dog sitting for the last 20 years. I have also boarded dogs on select occasions while the owners are on vacation. I am an active person and enjoy running with active dogs. I have raised puppies all the way through their old age. I often find myself rescuing dogs and finding loving homes for them after ensuring their health. I currently help 3 different people with watching their dogs and often volunteer with a local dog rescue. I currently have two dogs of my own, a Husky/ Cattle Dog mix and a Doberman Pinscher. Prior to my current dogs I have owned German Shepherds. I also own three chickens and have raised other animal species to include birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, lizards, ducks, and an abandoned baby opossum.

I care for my own two dogs, one which is senior requiring medication and special care so I can easily work special needs into your care too. My husband also works from home so if a dog is staying with me, it will rarely be alone and always able to have outside time as needed. I treat other dogs how I would want my dogs treated. I am extremely respectful of other people’s homes, knowing it can be very uncomfortable, allowing strangers into the home.

“Very attentive & helpful definitely would recommend!!”
